Showcasing What You’ve Learned
Architectural replica project exhibits can be constructed from blocks, Legos, erector sets, or other materials. Project exhibits are submitted for judging at the annual Marion County 4-H Showcase. You may enter as many projects as you want, but consider which of your pieces you are most proud of and want to showcase. Create and exhibit age/grade-appropriate artwork.
Exhibit Guidelines
- Replica project exhibit guidelines for 4-H members grades 3-12
- All arts and crafts entered must have a 4-H Craft Information Card attached.
- Your replica project should be constructed to scale as much as possible.
- If you are concerned about damage to your project while on display, consider covering your exhibit with a clear covering.
- If multiple pieces make up your exhibit, a photograph of the complete exhibit should be attached so the total exhibit can be displayed.
Score Cards
- Construction & Architectural Replica Score Card. Judges evaluating exhibits recognize individual differences and creativity and use the score card as a guide rather than a requirement.
Advancing to the State Fair
- Yes! Replica project exhibits from 4-H members grades 3 and up may advance to the State Fair.
Cloverbuds (Grades K-2)
Exhibits
- Cloverbud 4-H members can create and enter any piece of art or craft, with a limit of four entries total in any of the categories.
- Cloverbud projects are for exhibition only (not judged), so there are no score cards, and exhibits are not eligible to advance to the State Fair.
